Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/9/11

CAIN: Yes. BARTIROMO: You know that shareholders are reluctant to hire a CEO where there are character issues. Why should the American people hire a president if they feel there are character issues?

CAIN: The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations. That's...

(APPLAUSE)

And I value my character and my integrity more than anything else. And for every -- one person that comes forward with a false accusation, there are probably -- there are thousands who would say none of that sort of activity ever came from Herman Cain.

You're right. This country's looking for leadership. And this is why a lot of people, despite what has happened over the last nine days, are still very enthusiastic behind my candidacy. Over the last nine days...

(APPLAUSE)

Over the last nine days, the voters have voted with their dollars, and they are saying they don't care about the character assassination. They care about leadership and getting this economy growing and all of the other problems we face.

(APPLAUSE)

GO CAIN!

There's bad news and worse news boys. First there's a New Sheriff in town and here's come to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

And the worse news is?

The New Sheriff is all out of bubblegum.

Support Herman Cain

[When do we get liberated?]

Frankly I don’t care and I bet alot of people don’t either. Run a microscope over my life and I would never run for office. Cain’s past is littered with examples that show when a business unit is hemmoraging cash, running out of credit and becoming burdensome, you put Cain in charge and he turns it around. So one afternoon he got a bit fresh with a woman. He didn’t rape her, he didn’t offer monetary reward for her complicity, he just tried to get some. It didn’t work. Boo Hoo. I am all about hirinig (electing) the right guy for the job. Cain is the right guy, this is FlAK dust thrown up by the MSM that was so effective at their job that 90% of Americans thought Bill Clinton’s illegal act was getting a blowjob. No, it was perjury and obstruction of justice in his pending rape case. They didn’t care about that, but a conservative rubbed a womans leg up to her happy area? That requires scrutiny....

[editor-surveyor]

That is moral integrity and strength.

Enough of this Jim Crow lynch mob AKA the Donkeycrat party.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “So one afternoon he got a bit fresh with a woman.” <<

F___ you!

There is no evidence that that even happened.

WOOOOHOOOOOOO GO CAIN!!!!!!!!

[Absolutely Nobama]

Not to sound like a drone, but man, Herman Cain is awesome. He says what he thinks. No politcalcorrectthink nonsense. No worrying about making libs weep or what the NY Slimes has to say. He has my vote without a shadow of a doubt.

I’m really concerned with Iranian aggression and their nuclear weapons program.

I really would like to get a good idea how a President Cain would deal with Iran.

I hope to gain some meaningful insight into how he would deal with Iran by watching how he instructs his new lawyer to deal with these scumbags trying to smear him

[FlingWingFlyer]

Old commie ‘RAT trick. When all else fails, bring on the blonde white women to make accusations against “the black guy”. If this ‘RAT trick works, America has fallen down a lot further than I thought it had.

[NurdlyPeon]

At this point, I honest-to-God don't care what the man did or didn't do 20 years ago. Couldn't care less.

[When do we get liberated?]

No need for profanity brother, I was pointing out that in the worst case, this doesn’t change my views at all. If he did, he did. If he didn’t he didn’t. Doesn’t change my mind at all. That was my one and only point.

[CainConservative]

Great job, Herman!

Perry could very likely drop out before Iowa, sending the lion’s share of his 6-8% over to Cain — which should be the difference in Florida and pad the margin of Herman's two key wins in IA/SC.

Cain was near perfect tonight!

[Yooper4Life]

Everyone who thinks this video clip, or even an accurate written report of it, will put on and MSM raise your hand.

I’ll gladly eat crow if I’m wrong.

Oh, and just so its on record, Cain may force me to change my tagline.

[Yooper4Life]

I had this question tonight: regarding Perry supporters switching to Cain - what effect do you think Cain’s placing blame for the circus on Perry’s campaign will have? Any grudges enough to not support Cain should Perry not continue at some point?

[stars & stripes forever]

Cain was near perfect tonight!

He sounded like Ronald Reagan when he said the third thing that was wrong with Dodd/Frank was Dodd and Frank. HA!

[Salvavida]

LOL! Good post.

[CAluvdubya]

Totally awesome!

Cain is getting better and better handling the oppositio......the media. :D

[South40]

It's been a while since I have been this enthusiastic about a candidate. Remember, Herman Cain was the only candidate in the debate tonight who has never help political office. He was, literally, surrounded by career politicians. And not only did he do well, he did extremely well, better than most!

Go Herman!
